Richard Johnson, a Queen Mary University of London lecturer, told France 24 that shifts in voter support could bring Democrats major gains in the Nov. 3 U.S. midterms.
Johnson, a senior lecturer in U.S. politics and policy, pointed to Democratic energy and signs of stronger support among independents, white voters with college degrees and Latino voters. He also cited possible defections from Donald Trump’s electoral coalition.
Johnson said the potential gains could be comparable in scale to the 2008 presidential election won by former President Barack Obama.
The U.S. midterms are scheduled for Nov. 3.
